Hi guys.
I'm an Italian user. Yesterday I flashed my Samguns Galaxy S3 I9300 branded Vodafone Italy, with this ROM I9300XXALF6_I9300ITVALF1_ITV.zip
Here steps i've followed:
1) Reset factory defaults
2) Flash with odin
3) Reset factory defaults again
Now I've two problems:
1) *#1234* shows me CSC Unknown and so I can't connect my phone with Kies
2) Messages Apps crashes every time
I've tried also other official ROMs like OMN (Italian branded ROM) and results are the same.
Could You help me please?
You do know that you are asking a question in the wrong thread? All questions need to be asked in the Q & A section.
You need to flash the stock rom for your phone when you recieved it and type the following in your dialer. *#272* followed by your IMEI number and then #. This should bring a menu with all the common csc, select the apprioate one and install. Do note that your data on the phone will be wiped and you will return to factory settings.
If it helps, hit the thanks button

Flash your CSC from this thread.
moved to q&a
I've flashed my CSC and nothing changed.
If I enter *#272*IMEI# I can see ITV but if I enter *#1234# result is always "CSC Unknown".

I had the same problem with LF2 BTU it kept switching to KOR i had to change CSC manually editing 2 files
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Even though the tip in post2 works to show a list of CSC, I have flashed PHN CSC, but it is not listed. Just DBT, probably because that is what the phone got shipped with.
I bought a German phone, but I need a PHN CSC.
I solved my problem by flashing firmware with Odin Mobile

Hi all,
Need to return my s3 to stock, I've removed custom binary and flash count and flashed back to LE8 stock software, but messages app don't work and won't update through kies, I understand this may have something to do with the csc so I flashed a different one - got messages app working but still won't update so something must be wrong. It's on csc btu
Please help as I need to use the warranty, it's a uk phone purchased from carphonewarehouse unlocked and simfree
Check the phone bootloader update option in odin when you flash your stock firmware.

Try repeating these steps in order..
1. Use Triangle away and reset your counter
2. Download the latest BTU firmware which I think is LG8
3. Flash via Odin
4. Dial *#1234# and check whether all the 3 AP, CP and CSC are the same
5. otherwise change it to BTU
6. Then connect to kies and check whether it detects your phone correctly

I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.
I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.
Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?

No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
Thanks.
In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.
Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.
I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?
Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
How do I do a complete wipe?

Go to settings, backup and restore and do a data facory reset.
Ah you mean a factory data reset.
When I do that the australian version adds 2 apps which are easily removed and I cannot see anything else there. I also have another issue.
Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.
But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.
I am going to try this with mobile odin
Right
Tried the btu version with mobile odin and again have the same issue. Notification panel is gone and the touchwiz doesn't work properly.

You have to reset after you flashed the rom. Did you reset the flash counter with Triangle Away?
Update
Retried the btu md5 but selected to wipe data and cache from mobile odin pro.
It seems to be working now
Hi, Im writting this threat to solve a problem with my s6 edge. Two weeks ago I bought a phone from Aliexpress, and when it came everithing was okey, it came with 5.1.1, so i decided to upgrade to 6.0.1. How the phone was new and i had no idea about which rom install I installed the 5 files rom XEU without making a backup of the EFS folder. After install it, the phone worked, but it wasn´t able to make calls or recieve SMS, the phone said "no registered on network". I tried to solve this problem installing a modem, but this aggravate the problem, appearing a prohibited sign in the status bar and with the IMEI and Baseband unknown. I tried to install another roms, but odin always failed, the only rom that odin let me install is the AP file of the 5 files XEU rom. I sent the phone to the Samsung technical service, and the said me that they can´t repair the phone because the phone is from Israel, and they only repair EU phone. The phone works, everything is okey but it can´t use the network services. How the technical service said me the phone is from Israel, and it came (if im not wrong) with this rom: "G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJK3COJ3_ILO" (5.1.1 rom from Israel), but now the only rom that works is "AP_G925FXXS3DPB1_CL7025264_QB8758701_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5" (the AP file from the 5 files 6.0.1 XEU rom). I don´t know how to solve the problem, the phone is totally new, and when I try to install any rom Odin gets fail. Can anybody help me? Is the first time I buy a good phone and on the third day it gets broken. Any solution? Please help me, thanks. (Sorry for my bad English, I´m from Spain)

Try flashing a firmware with the number 4
For example I flashed with G925FXXU4DPGW
If you try to flash with a firmware with 3 in the place of 4 it might not work. So try it.

Just flash the stock firmware for your region.
Or try to flash stock XEU or BTU. Most international firmwares and multi csc firmwares come with efs or modem files.
If you are trying to flash a branded firmware this could be why as this happened when I tried to flash EVR rom.
I can link you to the stock XEU download that I'm using.
If you get an fail in odin let me know where it fails... example hidden.img fail or system.img fail.

Hi Callumbr1, I´ve tried to install the 5.1.1 rom of my country (spain), but Odin gets fail, at first it fails at "cm.bin" archive, so I deleted it from the tar archive, then I flash the rom again and another Odin problem, it failed at "hidden.img", so I also deleted it from the tar archive, afterwards I flash again and another odin problem at "sboot.bin" (this sboot archive always fail when I try to flash a rom), so I also deleted it. After having removed the 3 archives from the original tar archive (the rom was G925FXXU3COI9_G925FPHE3COI6_PHE), the rom started to flash normally but after it the phone gets stuck on Samsung galaxy S6 edge logo.
I also have tried to install the 5.1.1 XEU (G925FXXU3COI9_G925FOXA3COI9_XEU), but also same problem at "hidden.img" and at "sboot.bin", after deleting them, another bootloop. What can I do? Maybe I have to start trying to flash 6.0.1 roms, I will also try to flash roms with number 4 how Subhy259 said. What do you think Callumbr1, what can I do?

What firmware was you on before? Was it 6.0.1? Is so you have to flash a 6.0.1 rom. You can't flash from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1.
Hidden.img fail means you need pit file for partitions.
Was the device unlocked when you got it? It could have locked bootloader which means you will have to flash the firmware it came with.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/85917/G925FXXU4DPGW_G925FOXA4DPGW_XEU/
Flash this firmware see if this works. It's multi csc European so should work.
If you get any errors copy the odin log to here so I can see. The good news is its not bricked. We just need to find the firmware that will flash

In odin you need to insert the firmware into AP again and click on pit where the options are. Insert the downloaded pit file and make sure re partition and f.reset is checked and then flash.

Is there a way to go back to the factory firmware it came with through smart switch or.... how do i find the correct firmware to flash with odin? Because i dont have any version details from before...
Please help!

I believe as long as you do a full clean flash, the software update will function normally. By full clean flash I mean flashing the CSC and not HOME_CSC, and flashing userdata if that was included in your firmware, although I'm not sure if that part affects this or not. But the CSC, which will wipe your data by the way, should set everything straight I believe. It has worked for me.

Oh, you said you flashed the firmware package, so did it have four or five different files inside the package, like AP, BL, CSC etc? You put each file in the respective slot in Odin, and instead of using HOME_CSC, use CSC, which will wipe your data but it will line up the customer code with the firmware so that updates should work as normal.
